Crypto infrastructure provider Fireblocks has announced integration with the Canton Network, a blockchain built for regulated markets that emphasizes privacy, interoperability and scalability, enabling financial institutions to custody and settle tokenized assets in a compliant, enterprise-grade environment.
Fireblocks, which secures more than $5 trillion in annual digital asset transfers, said its platform now supports custody and operational support for Canton Coin (CC), giving banks, custodians, asset managers and other institutional participants a way to settle assets on the Canton Network while leveraging Fireblocks’ governance controls and workflow automation tools.
The Canton Network is a blockchain designed specifically for institutional finance that combines privacy features with compliance and real-time secure synchronization across regulated markets. Its architecture makes it suited for tokenization of securities, deposits and other regulated digital instruments.
In addition to custody support, Fireblocks is integrating this functionality through Fireblocks Trust Company, a qualified custodian chartered by the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), providing clients with a regulatory-compliant framework for fiduciary responsibility and risk management.
A strategic expansion of regulated tokenization and settlement infrastructure
The integration leverages Fireblocks’ multi-party computation (MPC) security architecture, allowing institutions to operate with tokens and assets on Canton while maintaining strong policy controls, governance and enterprise-level security — a combination aimed at reducing friction and enabling broader institutional participation.
Executives at Fireblocks have noted that many traditional financial firms are exploring regulated tokenized assets and digital finance, but require infrastructure that aligns with their existing operational standards for confidentiality and governance. Integrating Canton provides that bridge between blockchain innovation and traditional enterprise requirements.
Institutional adoption of networks like Canton has grown as additional infrastructure providers and custodians expand support for privacy-focused blockchains, underscoring rising demand for regulated tokenization solutions in global markets.
Fireblocks also plays a deeper role in the Canton Network as a super validator, participating in transaction validation and network governance, highlighting the company’s commitment to supporting the underlying infrastructure for institutional use cases.
Together, this integration represents a key development in regulated digital finance infrastructure, combining Fireblocks’ enterprise security and compliance experience with a blockchain designed for institutional privacy and scalability, and paving the way for expanded tokenization of assets across both traditional and crypto markets.
